EMG: ELECTROMYOGRAPHY

EMG: Electromyography
The MP System offers many options for recording surface, needle and fine wire EMG.
  • Record and analyze EMG data to determine general muscle strength and fatigue from a variety of body locations.
  • Solutions for freely moving subjects with the NEW BioNomadix wireless EMG module.
  • Stimulate the muscle and record twitch data.
  • Record facial EMG for startle response studies.
  • Combine EMG recording channels with other data channels to display muscle contraction simultaneously with other physiological events.
  • Integrate and/or filter raw EMG data during recording for immediate analysis.
  • Correlate EMG activity with data from other sources, such as force plates, goniometers, and motion analysis equipment.
  • Use Spike counting and frequency analysis software tools for post-aquisition EMG analysis.
  • Video a subject while they perform a task and synchronize the video with the EMG data.

BIOPAC's TEL100C remote monitoring system was used for the "Super Strength" episode on the National Geographic Channel.

The episode features Mark Phillipe—an America's Strongest Man winnerpulling a truck that is 85 times his weight while BIOPAC equipment measures EMG, breath-by-breath ventilation rate, heart rate, and load cell signal.
